Original Note:
Some uses of African American Vernacular (AAVE) are noted for "R-lessness" in which the letter "R" is omitted or substituted. According to the BBC, linguistic racism — including against AAVE speakers — is a "pervasive problem." It can occur through "accent bullying." https://repository.lib.ncsu.edu/bitstream/handle/1840.2/2062/Thomasj.1749-818X.2007.00029.pdf?sequence=1 https://www.hawaii.edu/satocenter/langnet/definitions/aave.html https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20210528-the-pervasive-problem-of-linguistic-racism
